.... Q. President George W. Bush has declined to be interviewed by you. What would you ask him if you had the chance?

Q. What do you think of Fox News?

Q. You said recently that you thought Dan Rather should have resigned after his producers lost their jobs over the infamous story last year about President Bush's military service record.

A. You know something? It wouldn't have caused a stir at all if I had. No one would've paid any attention. I was no one. ....
